Default Carrier/CMP military demonstration

This is a long shot, but here goes... A few months ago I came across an old video of some carriers and CMP's going through a demonstration of their abilities. It looked like a display put on for military "higher-ups", and showed the vehicles going over hills and across ruts and doing hard corners etc. I am guessing it was filmed during the war.
I have been unable to find the video again. It may have even been on you tube. If anyone can help me find it or give a link to it, that would be great!
Dave

Yikes! did you see that one guy's hat go flying after he went over the big berm? Likely needed dental work after that.
